If you've ever reproduced or brought little folks into your life and home, you are very familiar with their harsh anti-napkin views. Little Red and Little Lady would occasionally get food on their faces and clothes. At times, they looked like survivors of a food war and the food won. However, they . . .
Surprise! Totally random pictures.
These photos above? You're wondering what the heck they are, aren't you? I would be too except I know that this is a box that was destined for the recycling bin until Little Red intercepted and got ahold of the contents in a craft bin, glue, scissors and material. Little Red consistently has strong . . .
A piece of Old Hollywood!
My girls and I are big fans of Disney's The Parent Trap, starring Hayley Mills and Maureen O'Hara and many other actors (the list is really long). A cool fact you may not know, is that Maureen O'Hara moved out to Boise a few years ago before passing away in . . .
Oh yum! Ooh, no. Not yum.
Little Man came into the house from the backyard later today and announced that I had to come outside "wight now" and try these grapes! Yes, we have grapes growing along part of our wire pasture fencing. In years past, I was able to harvest them and make a nice amount of tasty jam! Then one summer, . . .
Hey ewe!
Last week, as every August, there were three shippings from two different corrals (I helped to build one of the corrals when I was 14 & that baby is gonna last a long time) in the Caribou National Forest in southeastern Idaho. A shipping, is when the lambs who are almost the size of the ewes, . . .
Back to school deals . . . meh but yay . . .
Meh, for back to school sales (aren't we still in the thick of summer?) but yay, for the deals to behold. It was July so of course school supplies were being advertised. I mean, hello, Independence Day was over by three weeks, so of course it was back to school ads everywhere. Ugh. I've been in . . .
Be Kool Little Man
*this morning when Little Man was sporting an 80's headband look with the fever having hit the road Little Man had a slight fever the other night, followed by a fever yesterday and two more in the night. He was the final victim of the flu that Little Lady and Little Red had experienced earlier in . . .
Fireworks & the flu
Regarding the Fourth of July, I don't have any fun pictures or stories to post because a week ago today, Little Lady had caught the flu bug and wasn't upbeat about celebrating our nation's independence. She spent the day sleeping and occasionally throwing up. A few days later, Little Red caught this . . .
Summertime!
This past Monday, things were really hoppin' up here on the hill with yard work, swimming, getting dinner ready, laundering swimsuits and towels and then, when I went to post on the blog for the night, our internet was sketchy. I finally decided that where it's summer with the long days and warm . . .
Swimming lessons or lessons in patience?
Last month, I signed Little Man up for swimming lessons. I figured he'd do well since he swims often during the summer. Well, Little Man has had other plans for the past three days. That photo above? That's Little Man standing outside of the pool . . . until the last five minutes when I handed him . . .
